Can we please stop with the "flip-flop" meme? You know, we've had nearly eight years of a president who absolutely refuses to change policy based on changing conditions. There's "resoluteness", and then there's being Beavis sticking his hand in the fryer and screaming "Ow!" -- and then sticking your hand in the fryer again. George W. Bush has been Beavis over and over again. You'd think the media would stop defending this kind of stupidity -- especially when there IS no flip-flop -- as Rachel points out here.
But no, they've become so addicted to the narrative of the "flip-flop" that they can't, or won't, tell the difference between the politically-expedient pander and thoughtfulness about a policy based on changing conditions. And good on Rachel for noting that the Obama campaign is guilty of giving the media too much credit for being able to handle a concept more complex than "apple....good.....cookie" (or as Keith Olbermann put it in his Special Comment last week, "Obama voted uh-uh… thing terror stop.").
